When I brought the log into Billy's shop: he suggested that I shape the outside before I shape the inside, I was thinking the opposite. Billy persuades me logically. We begin by shortening the log by 1 foot. Then tapering it to one end a bit with a bandsaw, a big metal tape recorder with a razor-sharp serrated blade instead of film.

After surviving death by clumsy amputation, we set the log in a clamp against a work bench and I got started shaping with a drawknife.
